Ghost nets are one of the major components of the plastic pollution that plagues our seas. Nets that break, or nets that are swept away by sudden storm surges, or nets that are abandoned due to the high cost of their disposal as special waste. Fishing, however, is a very ancient craft, while plastic is a super new element in the history of humanity. I therefore wondered how we are proceeding to meet this problem and I became aware of different realities that are either using fishing methods of ancient tradition or are experimenting with new technologies, such as the use of bio-plastic for construction. networks. The man that I photographed here was the previous president of the "Cooperativa Fra Pescatori dell'Adriatico"  (cooperative among fishermen of the Adriatic sea), located in Scardovari (RO, Italy), Roberto, and his brother, Marco. The cooperative won a European tender to carry out a twin project with Croatia which included the study of  use of biodegradable nets in the sea. The study lasted from 2015 to 2018 and it was found that the types of nets used were not suitable for the open sea (they were too weak) but were excellent for the lagoon. But after the project they weren't used, because no company wanted to start this production due the cost of these nets that is 3 times higher than the plastic ones. So no fish farm wants to use these nets for their excessive cost. The biodegradable nets were really good for mussel farming but, Roberto said, that only if they are made mandatory by state laws they will be used on a large scale. Until then, nets in plastic, given their lower cost, will be preferred, continuing to create special non-recyclable waste due to the presence of animal and vegetable material (which could therefore transmitting diseases) stuck in the nets mesh.
